Ethernet switches, routers and gateways have their distinct purposes and it is important to test their performance well. During R&D and DVT products are usually tested on L2/L7 while in production basic L2/L3 tests are usually sufficient. For those who follow testing methodology RFC 2544 and RFC 2889 are also available. IP traffic packet generators/analyzers for 10/100/1000 Mbps, gigabit and 10 gigabit with PoE options are the most important test instruments to ensure Ethernet switch or router product quality is verified. Gigabit TAP analyzers, media convertors, production test software suites and Ethernet cable emulators are additional tools used in conjunction with stream generators to help ensure fast development cycle and high quality. Our IP performance test systems are economic and known worldwide for excellence in quality and service support.

Electrostatic discharge testing, also known as ESD testing is an essential test for many product. Electrostatic discharge can cause a number of problems including but not limited to mechanical failures, coal dust explosions, fuel vapor explosions and bodily injury. ESD is the sudden transfer of electricity between to electrically charged objects. This electrostatic transfer can be caused by contact, dielectric breakdown or an electrical short. ESD testing simulates various electrostatic impacts that equipment might experience either during transit or operation. The impact of electrostatic discharge can be significant whether the ESD even is so slight that is undetectable by hearing or sight or as spectacular as electrical sparks or lightning. An electrostatic discharge test determines whether a product is in compliance with its ESD protective area and procedures. Electronics manufacturers must identify ESD-reducing measures when their products are either susceptible to ESD or likely to create ESD. These measures can include establishing electrostatic protective areas that are free of static, controlling humidity, using measures to eliminate charging such as avoiding highly charging materials and taking steps to remove static such as grounding human workers or requiring antistatic devices. An ESD test confirms that the equipment correctly operates per the test requirement and the manufacturer’s operating procedures.

A load test is a planned test to perform a specified number of requests to a system in order to test the functionality of the system under specific levels of simultaneous requests. A load test ensures that a web system is capable of handling an expected volume of traffic, and therefore is sometimes referred to as volume testing. The goal of a load test is to prove that a system can handle the expected volume with minimal to acceptable performance degradation. The threshold of acceptable performance degradation must be defined by the testers as some value considered acceptable to the end user so that users will not bounce from the site.

Shimadzu's range of hardness testers - including conventional JIS-compatible models and models utilizing new principles of operation - can evaluate the hardness (strength) of all materials from steel through to new materials and from micro parts through to large products.

Solo testers are available either as separate components or as complete kits – configured both by height and application. The price of complete kits is usually less than the sum of the component parts.

EMC measurements are required by many different governments throughout the world. EMC is an important compliance issue for equipment manufacturers. With the increased use of wireless communications, the potential for interference is also increasing.
